The Bible Journey Daily Podcast

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Our Family Tree - Part Two. (1 Chronicles Chapters 4-7)Welcome back to the podcast. Today we continue our journey through the opening chapters of 1 Chronicles, a journey through names, families, tribes, and stories that stretch across centuries. If you joined us for Episode One, you’ll remember that we explored the sweeping genealogy from Adam all the way to the exile. Now, in Our Family Tree – Part 2, we turn to chapters 4 through 7, where the Chronicler continues tracing the tribal lines of Israel.  These chapters may look like more of the same, more names, more lists, more genealogies, but tucked inside them are flashes of story, hints of character, and moments of spiritual insight that reveal how God works through ordinary people and imperfect families. In these chapters, we meet: The tribe of Judah, with its mixture of heroes and failures.The tribe of Simeon, whose story reminds us how choices shape destiny.The tribe of Reuben, the firstborn who forfeited his privilege.The tribe of Levi, the priestly line entrusted with worship, and the tribes of Issachar, Benjamin, Naphtali, Manasseh, and Ephraim, each carrying their own history, strengths, and scars.These chapters will show us how God preserves identity even through exile and how He weaves His purposes through both white eagles and black sheep. It also demonstrates how He honours faithfulness across generations, and how every tribe, every family, every name plays a part in preparing for His presence. So today, we’re going to slow down, walk through these tribal genealogies, and discover the spiritual treasures hidden inside them. Because behind every name is a story. Behind every tribe is a calling. And behind every genealogy is a God who remembers His people.Mini Goldendoodle puppiesMini goldendoodle puppies for sale.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name Bible Project .

(1 Chronicles Chapters 1-3)Today we begin our journey into the opening chapters of 1 Chronicles, and yes, that means genealogies. Long lists of names. Pages of ancestors. The kind of passages many people quietly skip over. But before you reach for the fast‑forward button, let me tell you something: These genealogies are not filler.They’re not trivial, and they’re not just ancient paperwork.They are the theological foundation of the entire book. Because in Scripture, a family tree is more than a list of names; it’s a theological statement, and it’s a spiritual map. It’s a story of identity, covenant, and purpose.So today, we’re going to explore the opening section — the first three chapters and discover why this ancient list of names matters for us….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

The Book of Preparing the Temple.Welcome back to the podcast. Today we begin a brand‑new season — a study through a book that many Christians skip over, misunderstand, or don’t know what to do with: 1 Chronicles. If you’ve ever opened this book and found yourself staring at long genealogies, unfamiliar names, and repeated stories from Samuel and Kings, you’re not alone. But here’s the surprise: 1 Chronicles is one of the most theologically important, pastorally sensitive, and spiritually purposeful books in the entire Old Testament.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Putting on the Armour of God: The Whole Book of Ephesians - Our Calling Determines Our Conduct. What determines how we should live our lives?  Some psychiatrists would say that there are unconscious forces driving our subconscious. Not everyone would go that far, but many would say that our past experiences shape our present and future behaviours.Some would simply say it is a desire for pleasure. They just want to be happy and enjoy their life, and they might say something along the lines of “ I just want to be happy”. For others, it is a drive for power or influence. They want to be in a position of influence, either through the job or by holding a position of political power.A lot of people live for possessions. They try to achieve satisfaction in life through the accumulation of things. But many find their possessions soon possess them.Many Christians would say that we don’t need to be driven by these base desires and motivations, and that we can have more control over ourselves than we do over our past experiences or our subconscious mind. Many Christians believe we can rely on something greater outside of ourselves than our own resources.The Bible has many things to say about how we should live our lives, and the book of Ephesians has been particularly helpful in this area. In this book, I’ve been going through this famous letter of the Apostle Paul.  But now, before I finish, I want to summarise it by taking an overview of what I believe Paul was trying to get across. To try and see the whole forest as well as the individual trees, the big picture, so to speak. It's one thing to open the Bible and find a verse that is meaningful for you, but sometimes it is another thing entirely to see that verse, in its context of a paragraph, and that paragraph within the context of the book, and that is what I want to do this time. I want us to run through all six chapters of the book because this book, as much as any book in the Bible, tells us what should determine the way we should live our lives. Importantly is also tells us how to do it practically and apply it in real life….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Putting on the Armour of God. (Ephesians 6: 10-20)I think there are several ways to describe the Christian life. Even the bible describes it in different ways. If you just started reading the Bible in Genesis and continued through the Old Testament, you might conclude that what God really just wants is for us to obey him. Keep reading; you'll discover that, in the New Testament, in places like John, it refers to the spiritual life as living in Christ. Get to Luke's, and it seems to emphasize being filled with the Holy Spirit and thereby living the Spirit-filled life. However, here in the book of Ephesians, Paul uses the metaphor to describe the spiritual life as a walk, and he uses that image over and over again. If spiritual life is described as a walk in which we obey God's revealed word, living in Christ and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, what should that walk look like? We are told there is not just difficult terrain to navigate, but there are dangers in the spiritual life. The Bible tells us there are wild beasts along the way waiting to attack and destroy. In addition, the New Testament warns us that we have an adversary who stalks the believer’s life journey like a hungry lion seeking to devour us. The question we are going to consider in this passage is: how do we protect ourselves along the journey that is the spiritual life? If there's a lion about to pounce on us, is there any kind of defence system that we have? Well, I believe if we study this passage closely, we will find the answer is an emphatic yes.  Paul describes the defence system for us in vivid detail in Ephesians chapter 6, beginning in verse 10. Let’s hear what it has to say….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

What motivates us to work when the boss is not watching? I myself have been an employee and an employer.  I've been the boss, and I've been the one under someone else's authority. I've been an employed team manager, an owner of a company that employed others, and a Pastor of a church. So, what determines our actions and our attitudes at work?When it comes to the secular workplace, in my experience, it seems to me that most people work for financial reasons. However, it is not just the desire for that money that determines what people do. Other factors can be things like how much they are appreciated by their bosses and their relationship with fellow workers.I personally don’t believe that any of these motivations are wrong in themselves. Working for money or the approval of others or even to accept a higher-paying job if one comes along, all those motivations are perfectly legitimate. What I want to ask today is what our spiritual motivation should be?  As believers in Jesus Christ, are there spiritual reasons for how we should approach work, or for how we behave if we are given authority over others?As we've been going through the book of Ephesians, we have come to a passage that addresses these very issues. This passage is helpful as it speaks to those who are working under authority, and then it turns around and also speaks to those who are in positions of authority. These verses tell us what our actions and our attitudes at work should be like, whether we are in charge or under someone else’s authority.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Send us Fan MailThis Podcast is part of a 10-year project to complete an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes:  Walking in Submission - Advice for Christian Marriage. (Ephesians 5: 21-33)  The text now turns to one of the most practical, most needed, and let’s be honest, most misunderstood subjects in the entire New Testament: Because we are advised to walk in submission. And we are going to consider it in the context of where most people live, this aspect of the Christian walk out that is within marriage.  With so many marriages falling apart today, with so many couples struggling, with so much confusion about roles, expectations, and responsibilities, with so much advice given online by so-called influencers, one of the greatest needs in our society is a clear, healthy, godly model of marriage. A model people can look at and say, “If we lived like that, we would have a strong, joyful, lasting marriage.” I wonder if you know a couple like that? A couple whose marriage you would gladly recommend as a model for others? I think many of us might struggle to think of one, but the good news is this. God Himself has given us the perfect model for marriage. Not a cultural model, not a modern model, not a traditional model, and certainly not a psychological model. A biblical model. A Christ‑centred model. A Spirit‑filled model. And Paul lays it out for us in Ephesians 5. Now, some of you might be thinking. “I’m not married — why do I need this?” Let me tell you why. If you’re single, you need this more than married people do. Married people are already in the middle of their story; they’re already living out the consequences of the choices they made. But if you’re single, you still have the opportunity to choose wisely, to prepare well, to know what to look for, and to build your expectations on God’s design rather than the world’s confusion. And even if you’re single and have no plans to marry, you still need this passage. Why? Because you know married people. You will be asked for advice. You will be asked to pray. You might be asked to support, encourage, or guide, and you need to know what God says, so you can help others wisely. So today, we are going to look at: ·         God’s model for marriage,·         The meaning of biblical submission,·         The sacrificial love of Christ,·         And how marriage becomes a living picture of the relationship between Christ and His church. And it all begins with one foundational verse: “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” (Ephesians 5:21) This is the doorway into everything that follows. Before Paul speaks to wives, before he speaks to husbands, before he

A letter that has been guiding us step by step through what it means to live out our calling in Christ.  We’ve already explored what it means to: Walk in unity,Walk in truth,Walk in honesty,Walk in kindness,Walk in forgiveness,And walk in love. And now, Paul takes us into one of the most beautiful and profound metaphors in the entire New Testament — the call to walk in the light. Light and darkness are among the Bible’s most powerful images. From the opening words of Genesis, “Let there be light,” to the final chapters of Revelation where “the Lamb is its lamp”, Scripture uses light to describe God’s presence, God’s purity, God’s truth, and God’s transforming power. So today, we’re going to explore what it means to be “light in the Lord.”How the light of Christ changes us, how we live as children of light, and how the light exposes, heals, and transforms everything it touches….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 4  31-32)We’ve been walking together through Ephesians 4 — a chapter where Paul takes the great truths of the gospel and brings them right down into the everyday details of life.He has shown us that spiritual growth is not something vague or mystical. It is practical, it is observable, and it is lived out in the ordinary moments of our day.So far, chapter 4 has taught us to:To speak the truth with honesty and compassionTo handle anger in a righteous, disciplined wayTo work diligently and generouslyTo use our words to build people up, not tear them downAnd now, as Paul brings this section of the letter to a close, he gives us two of the most beautiful, but most challenging, and most Christ‑like commands in the entire chapter:“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender‑hearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”(Ephesians 4:31–32)This is where the whole chapter has been leading. This is the destination of our “walk in righteousness.” This is what spiritual maturity looks like when it finally takes root in the heart and life of the believer.So today, we begin exploring what it means to walk in kindness….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 4: 29–30)We often hear people described as “a good person.” You hear it at funerals more than anywhere else. No matter what the person was really like.  It’s a kind of cultural politeness, a way of smoothing the rough edges of a life with a gentle, vague compliment. But Scripture rarely uses the word good to describe human beings. In fact, Jesus Himself said:“No one is good — except God alone.” Instead, the Bible uses a different word: Righteous. We don’t use that word much today. You don’t often hear someone say, “He’s a righteous man,” or “She’s a righteous woman.” But the Bible uses it constantly. And in Ephesians 4, Paul tells us that the goal of the Christian life is to grow into the likeness of Christ, to become righteous as He is righteous. And how do we do that? Paul says we must put off the old self and put on the new. Put off lying, put on truth. Put off sinful anger, put on righteous indignation. Put off stealing, put on honest work, and generous giving. And today, Paul adds another item to the list. Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Eph 4: 28)Sometimes Scripture tells us things we think we already know. Now and then, I find myself teaching a verse that seems so obvious, so basic, so universally accepted, that I wonder why Paul even needed to say it…. And that is exactly where we are today.The verse before us is one that most people, Christian or not, would agree with on the surface. It doesn’t sound controversial. It doesn’t sound complicated. It doesn’t sound theological.But the question is: Why does Paul talk about stealing to Christians?Is there more going on here than meets the eye? Is Paul saying something deeper than the obvious? Is this verse about more than simply “don’t steal”?Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 4: 26-27)Today's episode is not about avoiding anger, suppressing it, or even pretending anger doesn’t exist.  It’s more about managing anger. Understanding anger. And — believe it or not — sometimes expressing anger…. Our single verse today: “ ‘In your anger do not sin’ do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,…” (Ephesians 4:26) Or, as the King James Version puts it: “Be ye angry, and sin not.” That’s a command—a biblical imperative. So, which is it? How can he command anger in verse 26 and condemn anger in verse 31?

(Ephesians 4: 25)Saved by Grace, United in One Body. Earlier in this letter, Paul reminded us that it is: “By grace you have been saved through faith… it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8) We are saved by grace, not by our performance. And when we trust Christ, we become part of something bigger than ourselves — the Body of Christ. We are joined to one another. We belong to one another. We grow with one another. We serve one another. That’s why Paul said yesterday our purpose is “…to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up…” (Ephesians 4:12–13)The Journey of Spiritual Growth. In yesterday's study, we were given three foundational principles: 1. Put off the old self“…put off your former way of life…” (4:22)Take off the old habits, the old attitudes, the old patterns of sin — like taking off an old coat. 2. Renew your mind“…be made new in the attitude of your minds…” (4:23)Let Scripture reshape your thinking so you begin to think God’s thoughts rather than simply reacting to the world around you. 3. Put on the new self“…put on the new self, created to be like God…” (4:24)Replace old vices with new virtues. Replace old habits with new patterns. Replace old ways of speaking with new ways of speaking. But now — beginning in verse 25 — Paul gets specific. He gives us five concrete examples of what spiritual growth looks like in everyday life. And over the next five episodes, we’re going to take each one in turn. And the first one — the foundation of all the others — is this found in this single verse, verse 25….

(Eph 4: 17-24)Some people grow up… and some people grow old. You’ve probably met both kinds.Some Christians grow up in Christ — they become wiser, steadier, more loving, more Christlike. Others grow old in Christ —attending church, learning the religious language, but never really changing. In this passage, Paul is urging us to be the first kind of people, those who grow up spiritually and become more like Christ. And he describes this growth using a phrase we’ve seen before: “Walking in righteousness.”Over the coming episodes, we’re going to continue to look at the different ways Paul says we should “walk.” But today, we begin with this foundational one: Walking in righteousness… walking in holiness. So how do we grow spiritually and live righteously without becoming self‑righteous? How do we display holiness without becoming holier‑than‑thou? Paul begins to answer that in verse today’s passage, Ephesians 4:17–24….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 4:11–12) And some other New Testament verses, but you might be wondering why.  Didn’t we already cover this? Didn’t we already talk about unity, diversity, and spiritual gifts? Yes — but now we’re going to slow down and look at something far more practical:  How do we actually serve one another?How do we walk in servanthood?How do we minister to real people in real situations?Every believer has a spiritual gift. Every believer has a calling. Every believer has a ministry. The only difference is the type of gift we bring. So today, I want to lay out some general principles that apply to all pastoral ministries. Principles that work in every situation, in every church, and in every relationship. And then I’ll look at a few practical examples of how to support people in real‑world scenarios….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 4  4-16) Unity…. It’s one of the most beautiful words in the Christian vocabulary — and one of the hardest to maintain. How do we keep good relationships?How do we preserve unity in our families, in our churches, and even across the worldwide body of Christ?  Because division is a disease. Division drains strength from a family. Division weakens a church that should be strong. Division distracts a fellowship from its mission and forces it to turn inward, tending its wounds instead of reaching the world. .... And if division goes untreated long enough, it can even become terminal. So, how do we create unity among such a wide diversity of people who all call themselves followers of Jesus? I believe the answers are found right here in Ephesians chapter 4….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Overview of Chapters 4–6)Over the last few episodes, we’ve walked slowly and carefully through chapters 1 to 3 — the soaring theological heights of this letter. We’ve explored our calling, our identity, our salvation, our unity, and the immeasurable love of Christ.  We’ve listened to Paul pray for us — that we would be strengthened in the inner being, rooted and grounded in love, and filled with all the fullness of God. And now, as we turn the page into chapter 4, something important happens. The tone shifts. The focus shifts. The direction shifts. The first half of Ephesians tells us who we are in Christ. The second half tells us how to live because of who we are in Christ. Paul moves from doctrine to duty, from belief to behaviour, from revelation to response, but before we dive into the details of chapter 4, I want us to take a moment and look forward at the whole landscape of the second half of this letter. Because Paul is about to show us what a life shaped by the gospel actually looks like.This is where theology becomes lifestyle. This is where belief becomes behaviour. This is where the gospel moves from the head to the hands, from the heart to the home, from Sunday to Monday and every other day of the week..So today, we’re going to take a bird’s‑eye view of Ephesians chapters 4 to 6 — to see the shape, the flow, and the rhythm of what Paul is calling us into….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 3: 1-13)Today we come to a passage that speaks right into the heart of something every believer faces sooner or later: Discouragement. And what makes this passage so powerful is that Paul writes it from prison.He is cut off from the churches he longs to visit, living through circumstances he did not choose and cannot change, and yet he is not discouraged. In fact, he writes to the Ephesians so that they won’t be discouraged on his behalf.I don’t pretend to have all the answers. But today I can tell you how the Apostle Paul handled discouragement, because he faced it, he lived through it, and he wrote about it with remarkable clarity.  And to see how Paul dealt with discouragement, we only need to look at what he says here in Ephesians 3….Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 2: 11-22)Now, as we move into the second half of this chapter, Paul does something very pastoral, very human, and very necessary. He asks a question. A question that every Christian, in every generation, needs to hear: How is your memory? Because Paul knows something we often forget:  The Christian life is not only shaped by what we believe, but by what we remember.So, in this next passage, Paul gently takes the church by the shoulders and says: “Remember.”This is a passage about identity, but it is also a passage about unity, reconciliation, and belonging. It is about the God who takes strangers and makes them citizens, who takes enemies and makes them family, who takes scattered stones and builds them into a temple.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Eph 2: 1-10 Again)Today, we’re doing something a little unusual. We’re going back into the waters of Ephesians 2:1–10.  Back into one of the richest, most breathtaking passages in the entire New Testament. Because some passages of Scripture are like a shallow stream, refreshing, simple, easy to cross…. But others… others are oceans, and Ephesians 2:1–10 is such an ocean. We’ve already walked through this passage once, but the more you sit with these verses, the more you realise there is more here. This is a passage that refuses to be exhausted.  So today, we’re going back — not because we missed something, but because Paul has given us something so rich that it deserves to be savoured again. We’re going to linger, and we’re going to let the text speak again, and hopefully speak deeper. So, take a breath, settle your heart, and come with me again into the deep waters of Ephesians 2:1–10. Because sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is not press on with the project but to go back and listen again to what God has already said.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 1: 15-23)When Paul reaches verse 15 of Ephesians 1, something beautiful happens. He pauses. He reflects. And he gives thanks. He gives thanks, not for buildings, not for finance, not for programmes, and not for influence. He gives thanks for people — for their faith in Christ and their love for all God’s people. These two qualities, Paul says, are the unmistakable marks of a true church. Not cleverness. Not the charisma of the leader. Not size. Not even success.... But faith and love.Faith in the Lord Jesus — a deep, living trust.And Love for God’s people, a practical, sacrificial affection.Because Paul knows something we often forget. That you cannot love Christ without loving people, you cannot love people without being involved with them. You cannot grow in faith without other Christian believers.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

(Ephesians 1: 3-14)Why do people go to church?It’s a question we rarely ask out loud, but it sits quietly beneath the surface of every church on every Sunday morning.Some people go because they always have, and their parents went. Some go because they feel they ought to. Some go because they’re lonely and some go because they’re hurting.Some go because they’re hungry, not for food, but for meaning, for hope, for God.…. And some — if we’re honest — aren’t entirely sure why they go at all.But Paul, in Ephesians 1:3–14, gives us an answer that is far deeper, far richer, far more beautiful than any of those surface‑level reasons. He tells us that the reason we gather, the reason we worship, the reason we belong to a church at all… is because God has done something astonishing for us in Christ.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Ephesians, Introduction and Overview.A messenger has arrived from far away. He carries a letter. Not just any letter, a letter from a man they have heard about but never met. A man whose reputation has travelled farther than he ever could. A man who has been beaten, shipwrecked, imprisoned, and yet somehow is still shaping the world. The letter is opened.And the room falls silent. This is the moment the church in Ephesus first heard the words we now call Ephesians. A letter that would outlive empires, reshape theology, and call believers across centuries to live in the light of their calling. And today, we begin that journey together through that letter.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Episode,  Season 3 - The Medieval Church - Episode 9.Welcome:What happens when the church becomes too clever? What happens when faith is no longer something to be lived, but something to be analysed? That is the world we stepped into with Peter Abelard in our last episode. But not everyone welcomed that change, because, amid that rising tide of intellectual confidence, another voice began to speak. His name was Bernard of Clairvaux. And these two worldviews would collide. The world of the philosopher…. and the world of the monk. Their conflict would not just shape their own lives, but it would shape the direction of medieval theology itself. And this still matters because, at its core, this is not just a story about the twelfth century. It is a story about every generation of the church. So, join me in today’s episode…. As we step into the life, the passion, and the fierce convictions of Bernard of Clairvaux.The man who stood against the rising tide of intellectualism and called the church back to what, well, maybe to the heart of the Christian faith.For a complete list of sources and references used in the production of this episode, please visit my FREE Patreon page.Support the showThis podcast is not associated with the Bible Project YouTube channel or any other associated podcasts that use the name 'Bible Project'.

Bad choices bring bad consequences, and the Bible is full of stories that illustrate both.Some made wise choices, some made foolish choices, and the consequences were very different.

And now we’ve reached the end. From the end of chapter 23 through chapters 24 and 25, we watch the final unravelling of the nation, king after king, bad choice after bad choice, and consequence after consequence. Today’s lengthy closing passage will show us something important: Individuals can make wrong choices, and so can nations….And both experience consequences….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Avoiding God’s Discipline. (Joshua 22: 1-20)God wants you to be His child. Not just in the sense of being forgiven, though that’s where it begins, but in the sense of being a child who walks with Him, listens to Him, and enjoys His blessing.But once you become His child, God wants you to be an obedient child, just like any good parent wants their child to obey. And for that, He’s given us an instruction manual…. It’s called the Bible. But what happens when you step out of line? Well… what happens with any child? God, like a good Father, disciplines us.  In the bible, God’s people, Israel, had a long record of discipline; the Old Testament is full of this pattern. God redeemed Israel out of Egypt. He gave them the land, He blessed them abundantly, and He made them His people…. And then He gave them a long book — Deuteronomy — that effectively said: “If you obey Me, I will bless you.”“If you disobey Me, there will be consequences.” But they didn’t listen. For hundreds of years, God warned them: And eventually, that’s exactly what happened…. That’s the story of 2 Kings. King after king after king…disobeying, drifting, rebelling…until finally God says, “Enough,”and the nation is carried into exile. But here’s the fascinating part: One of the very last kings didn’t get disciplined and that’s where our story begins today. Because if we can understand why he escaped discipline, we can learn how to avoid it in our own lives….Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(2 Kings 21: 1-26)Several days ago, we looked at a king named Ahaz and asked the question: “How low can one go?” Up to that point in 2 Kings, Ahaz was the worst king Israel had ever had. He made alliances instead of trusting the Lord. He changed the worship. He embraced idolatry. And in the most horrifying moment of his life, he sacrificed his own infant son in the fire. How low can you go? Well… keep reading because the Bible introduces us to another king, a king who somehow manages to go even lower. His name is Manasseh, and what he does is so dark, so hideous, so spiritually twisted, that you almost want to say, “Viewer discretion advised.” You’ll see it by the end of the chapter. It’s a truth about the human condition. A truth about sin and a truth about grace, and I genuinely believe most Christians underestimate it. So, let’s walk through the passage.Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Send us Fan MailThe Bible Project Daily Podcast is an in-depth, daily study of the entire Bible, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. Episode Notes: Responding to God’s Amazing Grace. (2 Kings 20: 1-21)God’s grace is amazing; we even sing about it. But maybe we say that so often that sometimes we forget just how astonishing it really is. The Bible says: “For by grace are you saved through faith… it is the gift of God, not of works.” But consider the backdrop of that verse. What were we really like before we came to Christ?  But in some passages, it describes us as being in enmity with God — not neutral, not mildly indifferent, but opposed to Him. And yet, in that condition, God loved us. And God demonstrated His love by sending His Son to die for our sins so that we could receive eternal life as a gift. That is amazing grace.But that’s only the beginning. God’s grace doesn’t just save us. Grace saves us.Grace strengthens us.Grace sustains us.Exceedingly.Abundantly.Above all, we could ask or even imagine.So, if God pours out grace like that, then how should we respond? There are many possible biblical answers to that question.  But since we’re walking through 2 Kings, chapter by chapter, we’ve now arrived at a moment in Hezekiah’s life where God poured out extraordinary grace on him, and then Scripture shows us exactly how he responded.  And tucked inside this story is something every one of us needs to hear. Something about our hearts right now, not just Hezekiah’s…..Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(2 Kings 19: 1-37)Life has a way of surprising us. Most days are ordinary enough, predictable, manageable, familiar. But every so often, life throws us a curveball. A phone call.A diagnosis.A financial blow.A relationship crisis.A sudden loss. And when those moments come, and they will, the question is simple…. How do you handle a crisis?Today, we’re going to look at a king who faced a crisis so overwhelming that the entire city of Jerusalem hung in the balance. And the way he responded gives us a pattern, not a complete list, but certainly an essential, helpful example of how believers can face the hardest moments of life. Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

(2 Kings 18 1:-37)Life is full of challenges. But for the believer, there is one challenge that towers above all the rest. A challenge that shapes everything else in your spiritual life. Trusting the Lord…. In all circumstances. And today, we meet a man who faced that challenge head‑on and stood tall. His name is Hezekiah.Hezekiah is mentioned not only in 2 Kings 18, but he is also covered in three chapters of 2 Chronicles, 29–32, and in Isaiah, chapters 36–39. In fact, more biblical material is devoted to Hezekiah than to any king other than David and Solomon. He is one of the most significant kings in Israel’s history and one of the most remarkable examples of faith in the entire Old Testament. Over the next several episodes, we’re going to walk through his story one chapter at a time for three chapters. In doing that, we will discover what made Hezekiah stand tall when others fell…. Support the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.
